Libra, under the rulership of Venus, is connected with the domain of beauty and all things aesthetic so it\u2019s not surprised that our traditional rules of what is aesthetically pleasing is being challenged now that Saturn (challenges and testing) has entered the sign of Libra.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Brits are in the forefront of this trend, first of all with the success of\u00a0James Partridge<\/a>, the Channel Five newsreader who was disfigured in a fire when he was 18. \u00a0Partridge was given a one-week trial to read the news on British TV, \u00a0and the response to his presence in the newsroom was overwhelmingly positive. Partridge was given the job, one usually given to traditionally attractive individuals.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now the Brits have struck again with a reality show about the six disabled people left on an island, produced by disabled and starring disabled characters. \u00a0The show is called \u201cCast Offs,<\/a>\u201d a takeoff from \u201cCastaways.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
BBC\u2019s first attempt to mainstream the disabled was with the TV show Missing Top Model<\/em> that \u00a0ran for one season and was not renewed. \u00a0But now that Saturn has moved into Libra, perhaps the public is ready for a change in aesthetics \u2013 one that delves below the superficial and exposes the real human beauty beneath.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
